>>>> Add in plugging a netbook or handheld mobile PC into that USB port to read the mileage off the GPS. <<<<

I don’t understand why you’d need a GPS for this.

You’re reading mileage from a static vehicle, just as we’ve been doing with odometers for the last 50 years.

What’s the point of having a GPS?

Ask the politicians. Yes they can read mileage from odometer, so why would they really want to put GPS's in our cars? They say it's for mileage, but that's BS we'll find out soon as these trackers are live.

I got a Tom Tom GPS for Christmas. It cost $100. It's a little spooky. I wonder if it is recording all my trips for posterity, as well as telling me how fast I am going, every second, every store and shop and gas station I am passing, every destination I've asked for and been to, and the route I took.

A GPS tells you WAY MORE than a simple odometer. AND, it wants you to hook it to the Net, every week or so, for updates. If the National Socialist Democrat American Workers Party simply mandates a flash drive, it will record your every movement, addresses paused at, and for how long, and download it to your Permenant Record. Do you actually think this is about a simple tax per mile thing?

It's just for your own safety, like those SS thugs in Oklahoma City who demanded, (and were allowed), to search the "Abort Obama" bumper sticker owner's house, to make sure there was no evidence of "hate groups."

Just because 99.9% of the Federal Monster is a useless waste of protein, oxygen, oil, real estate, doesn't mean they can't actually have a Blind Squirrel program.
